Mattermost doesn't require role-management authorization when setting the scheme_admin flag on group syncable link and patch endpoints

Quick fix

GHSA-6hxm-w4hv-vgvw — github.com/mattermost/mattermost-server: upgrade to the fixed version with the command below.

go get github.com/mattermost/mattermost-server@v11.6.1

Details

Mattermost versions 11.6.x <= 11.6.1, 11.5.x <= 11.5.4, 10.11.x <= 10.11.15, 10.11.x <= 10.11.16 fail to require role-management authorization when setting the scheme_admin flag on group syncable link and patch endpoints, which allows a user with group-link permissions to escalate themselves and group members to team or channel admin via crafted API requests.
